SCPs

Author's Notes: Written for 9kcon. This story is an attempt to play to what I consider to be my strengths as an author in character writing and action scenes utilizing clever anomaly usage. It also lets me finally release a character onto the wiki who's been in draft limbo for a long time. Contests certainly push me to finish things where I'd otherwise stall on them and eventually move on.

Author's Notes: This entry was written for Dumbcon 2026, where I had the prompt "An Electric Razor that gives people more body hair rather than shaving it off." The subverted trans angst angle for the story almost immediately cropped up in my head when I read the prompt. I was sick through the last week of the contest, though, so it was a bit rough to finish up on time. My works tend to be much longer form, so I was apprehensive about a more compact story without a conclusive ending. I am ultimately very satisfied with it, though.

Tales

Author's Notes: Written for Remixcon 2023, this was my first ever contribution to the wiki. I had originally planned to write a relatively short piece as my first article and work from there. Then I had a cool idea.


Animal Antics - (+14)

Posted: 28 Dec 2023

Word Count: 6,509

Author's Notes: This tale was written for December 2023's Art Exchange event and was a gift for MetalRavioliMetalRavioli, featuring many of her own SCPs. I had a lovely time writing this one. The healing anomaly I invented for this tale being an axolotl was actually a coincidence; I didn't realize MetalRavioli's profile picture was also an axolotl until after I wrote it.

Word Count: 765

Author's Notes: This is a short tale originally written for a series that was deleted before its posting. It's a mirror of my own struggles with burnout and ambition, and it's something I think turned out very well.

The Beauty - (+13)

Posted: 14 Nov 2023

Word Count: 933

Author's Notes: This article was a bit experimental. I wanted to try my hand at writing a short-form horror story akin to classic creepypastas in the SCP setting. I remain with mixed feelings about the result, but I'm still glad I wrote it.

Joke Articles

Joke SCPs

Word Count: 2,016

Author's Notes: This article was co-written with AwhRyanAwhRyan. We wrote this rather spontaneously after he had the initial idea for it while planning a completely different co-written article that never came to fruition. I'm very proud of the mandatory movie night and 'scheduled 682 breach' bit.


Collaborative Works I've Contributed To:

Log Of Anomalous Items, Vol VI
Contribution: Anomalous Item 1256 (The Revolver)

Date Added: 28 Aug 2023

Author's Notes: Thought the idea was cool, didn't have anywhere further to go with it, slapped it in there.

I See You in Stardust

Published: 29 Jan 2025

Author's Notes: This is a video game I made for Art Exchange 2024. It was a gift for Daymon RockerDaymon Rocker (AKA NatCat). This is far from the first game dev project I started, but it is the first one I finished. I learned a lot from its development, most of which was the same lesson I've repeatedly learned and failed to internalize about my own over-ambition. Ultimately, despite how much I rushed to complete it back in December, I'm proud of how it turned out.
